TESTIMONIALS
Liz, 2025
"I didn’t want to have to sit in the big chair, to have to talk and go through ‘therapy’. However, Nisa made this process much easier. It took me a while to trust but the warmth and understanding Nisa showed was ideal and allowed me to open up about my internal struggles. She was gentle, thoughtful but most importantly for me, encouraging. Nisa encouraged me to believe in myself, to know that showing vulnerability was an asset and to work to my strengths.
Nisa is patient, non-judgemental and kind. Having support sessions with her is one of the best things I have done and I will be forever grateful that she helped me to understand myself better in order to process events and to face everyday challenges with determination. "

"I thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from my sessions with Nisa. I valued Nisa’s insight, prompts and guidance. Nisa was very warm, confident and approachable. I felt truly listened to and my thoughts and feelings validated. It was importantly for me to be totally open and honest and I felt that Nisa effortlessly created that space for me. The sessions were invaluable for me and I always left feeling heard and empowered. Thank you."

“Therapy felt like a long overdue process that I needed to go through so when I finally bit the bullet, and looked for a suitable therapist. From the initial pre-therapy intro call I immediately felt like a huge weight was off my shoulders, and that Nisa was someone I could speak to naturally honestly and feel un-judged.
I was struggling to come to terms with a marriage breakdown and separation, redundancy, and a whole host of other life curve balls. Nisa helped me identify and prioritise what I needed to talk about and understand better and take manageable steps to move forward and make positive realistic change . She helped me to realise when I was maybe beating myself up, when I didn’t need to be, and she helped restore confidence in myself and realise that I did have what it takes to heal, to take positive, manageable steps forward, and to not feel guilty about focusing on myself.”
Dave, 2022
"I have been able to get a better perspective of why my marriage may have split up and how I can come to terms with this situation – and feeling of ‘rejection’ – and look to move forward with my life. Being more pragmatic and realistic with what I can and cannot influence in my life so I don’t linger on things that I cannot change or influence. This includes a better understand of how I impact the way other people feel and how I should not be looking to try and change how they feel – as I can’t do that!
The service I received was second to none. I was treated with respect but also given clear and firm feedback about my different situations. This really helped me to put my situation in perspective and give me tools on how to deal with issues in the future."
Mitch, 2025
“I recently went to see Nisa as a result of some realisation and honest comments regarding my own mental state. I would recommend Nisa and during the 12/13 weeks that we worked together I am so glad I chose her to support me on my journey. Nisa is not only very good at what she does, but she has this great ability to point you in the right direction, without forgetting it’s your choice if you choose to take it, but she looks to support, guide and enable you, as opposed to just telling you what to do! The support that you get from Nisa is more than I could have hoped for and whilst it “takes two to tango” to use a phrase, the one thing I learnt was if you trust in the process of getting advise, use it wisely and reap the rewards from it. I left our sessions very differently to how I started them and without her support I don’t know where I would be today. Wholeheartedly recommend Nisa should you ever need someone!”
Kimberly, 2021
Nisa became a beacon for me. I looked forward to our sessions especially towards the end of our times when I looked forward to telling her what progress I had made. I always felt she had my back and really really wanted me to succeed. It gave me someone to talk to and someone who listened. She put in place a number of strategies for me and showed great patience when I didn’t quite do what I said I would. By building my confidence in my self slowly she helped me help myself. My confidence and robustness has improved immensely with Nisa’s help. I’m not quite where I want to be yet but well on my way. I’m sure I couldn’t have done it without her. Thanks Nisa!"

"I have had several counselling courses in the past 40 years. They have helped me get through periods of anxiety and depression. BUT Nisa has been the most helpful and considerate of all. I believe the guidance she has given me will help me through life. I am elderly. I thought it was too late for me to change my thoughts, but I was wrong. I wish I had met her earlier. Much earlier.
Nisa has helped me to understand the nature of actions and events which have caused deep hurt over the years. She has guided me through the expression of my feelings concerning family, friends and unavoidable life experiences and to differentiate between them with regards to intention and situational placement.
For the first time in my life, I have been able to tell it all to someone who really listened, without any sense of judgement. I had expected to end the sessions when I had talked about everything I thought was problematic, but at Nisa's suggestion we continued and unearthed a few things which I had not realised were queuing up and which needed to be addressed.
I did not feel in any way the victim when talking to Nisa. She did not make me feel less intelligent or too needy or weak, as has happened with some past counselling. I have ended up quite liking myself!
I will always be grateful for her help. I have her contact details and won't hesitate to ask for more help if I need it because I know she is the right person to be doing this work."
Alda, 2004
"Nisa created a warm, supportive environment that made me feel comfortable from the very first session. Her insight and understanding helped me gain clarity on some thoughts. She truly listens and offers practical tools that keep making a difference in my life. I always leave feeling lighter!"
Julia, 2002
“Nisa was absolutely brilliant, I felt like she was patient, understanding and really got th best out of me. I imagine I was frustrating sometimes but she was incredible throughout and 100% professional.”
James, 2002
